Newb-Increase drop rate of single items

Post by Hellomydarling » Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:14 am

Hi everyone, glad to see this place is still so active.

I'm just want to learn how to increase the drop rate of single items.
Specifically Sacred Targes, and eth Cryptic axes, and eth threshers.
I've done a few minor edits for things like dropping P gems instead of flawless, but I can't find anything related to item codes in the treasureclassex.txt, only odd things like "bow83" ect.


Thanks for any help!

The easiest way to do this would be adding them to any of the four following rows ammo/Misc0/Misc1 and Misc 2. Just set them lower than 4-6 depending how often you want them to drop

Oh thats clever, I like that. Thanks for the reply

So I tried the below, and found ~20 magic sacred targes in 10 min of lower kurast chest runs.
ONLY magic, (except 1 rare).
I also tried adding pab to another column, which didn't seem to do anything.

Is this even close to what it should look like?

Ammo 1 pab 1 cqv 1 0
Misc 0 1 key 3 tsc 3 isc 3 opl 2 gpl 2 0
Misc 1 1 key 3 tsc 3 isc 3 opm 2 gpm 2 0
Misc 2 1 key 3 pab 3 isc 3 ops 2 gps 2

I would not recommend removing things though, just add into the empty columns to the right of them and set the number lower for less of a chance. search treasureclassEX.txt in the search bar

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34455

For future reference this has a detailed list of fileguides, they describe what all of the columns are relevant to or where they are being accessed to and from, by other text files

Sweet Jesus, AFJ Sheet .61 Beta where have you been all my life.
I've been editing the files in Notepad ++ without colum lines, so most of the {filtered} I've been doing hasn't been aligned properly....

Microsoft Excel works perfect with d2 txt files as tables.

God damnit. My Excel kept crashing when opening a .txt so I just assumed it couldn't open it... the more you know.
